killer riffs, vocals and production |
13 | | Agalloch The Mantle
winter personified |
14 | | Dodecahedron Kwintessens
intense, chaotic and amazing |
15 | | Summoning Oath Bound
This is a stand-in for pretty much the entire band's discography. it all could easily be put here. |
16 | | Moonsorrow Verisäkeet
slightly bloated but still amazing folk bm record |
17 | | Primordial To the Nameless Dead
ridiculously good riffs, vocals and production |
18 | | Craft Terror Propaganda - Second Black Metal Attack
on the surface it looks like a shitty Transylvanian hunger ripoff, but riff city awaits. |
19 | | Aquilus Griseus
at least 40 percent of this album is pure orchestra, and its amazing. Loss is one of the best songs i have discovered this year. |
20 | | Alrakis Alpha Eri
M20 and Ghost of Jupiter are masterpieces |
